[3dem] Postdoctoral Associate at Stony Brook University/Brookhaven National Laboratory - Structural Biology of Plant Stress Signaling

[Qun Liu]

Stony Brook University/BNL has a Postdoc opening to work on the structural
mechanisms of plant stress signaling controlled by a family of conserved
cysteine proteases called metacaspase (MC).  Structural, molecular and
genetic approaches will be deployed to dissect the mechanistic basis of MC
functions for two prototypical members Arabidopsis AtMC4 and AtMC9, each
with distinct signaling pathways and regulatory properties. The results
obtained are expected to identify novel strategies to improve plant stress
tolerance through engineering of constructs or chemical modulators that can
predictably modify these signaling pathways.

Applicants should have a recent PhD in biochemistry, biophysics, molecular
biology, plant biology or a closely related field, preferably with
experience (but not required) in X-ray crystallography or single-particle
cryo-EM. Ability to carry out protein expression and purification work is
essential and an interactive personality is highly desirable.
